Just celebrating my own greatness and being one of the illest hustlers I've ever met in my entire life real quick!
I've detailed much of this before, but I'm giving a recap to underscore the points...
I lost my previous job as a restaurant manager February 18, 2020, and The Pandemic hit immediately afterwards. I was unemployed from then thru July 28, 2020, and during that span I was going thru a messy break-up with the mother of my two oldest daughters, that put another F on my record and depleted my savings thru lawyer fees...
When I started working again in late July, it was at a place I formerly worked at the staff level. I took a massive, massive pay decrease to do kitchen work again, but it was The Pandemic, weren't many Jon's available...
I wrote down several things in the Summer of 2020, then 2021, on this climb back and what I needed to make it successful. About an hour ago I found my old notes and I've matched or exceeded almost everything I wanted to do from a goal and financial perspective...
This has been during a 3-year run that also saw me involuntarily have another child (I love my girl though, she with me right now!), endure another messy and expensive break-up (no courts or charges this time though), and keep hustling...
This is on top of my backdrop of running the streets from age 15 thru 28 that gave me a late start on establishing myself in the real, civilian world...
2034 will be the year I turn 45, I got 11 years. That year will give me 20 years in this dining industry, and as I comtinue to work towards my other passions and interests, the goal is to be retired in '34 with total control over my schedule and income. We gonna do it too...
On my 45th birthday my daughters will be 17, 15, and 12. The goal is to grind this bytch out now so I'm as available as I need to be thereafter...
I have a bunch of shyt I'm working on and passion projects I'm moving towards, for time purposes I'll omit them at the moment. But we gone make this shyt reality over here. And I get fukking excited when I envision where I've been to where I'm at to where I'm going, a real American Gangster story...
I got a small knot on sitting on now that if I ended up jobless now I could survive just like I did in the first half of 2020, but I'm so much smarter and stronger and wiser than I was just 3 years ago. That knot balloons by the month, by the week, from a couple different avenues, and it ain't shyt yet really, but when I retire at 45, a young brother may be up BIG. Not quite a millionaire then (I think I can hit that in my 50s), but we gone have a real sack we sitting on when I'm 45...
All my fellow posters, keep grinding, understand its never as bad as it seems! Keep hustling and stay motivated, find your purpose or something you're good at! I never imagined being a restaurant industry lifer
I don't even "love" it, but I've learned to like it and finesse the paper way out of it...
We all go thru shyt, everyone has road blocks and speed bumps. Don't be deterred! Stay positive and keep hustling!
